Chemistry -- Mr. Martin Barron
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This introductory course presents many of the major concepts in the field of chemistry, the study of matter. It concentrates on the relationship between the structure of matter and its behavior; attempting to pose the question “why does something behave a certain way” and answer the question based on the structure and chemical changes that occur. The other primary emphasis of the course is on the process of learning problem solving techniques and strategies, both mathematical and investigative. While providing an overview of specialized behaviors of the elements (making extensive use of the periodic table to indicate structure and draw conclusions about generalized property patterns), the course will also introduce solution chemistry and nuclear chemistry. Whenever possible, laboratory experiences will serve to illustrate the principals being studies as well as to introduce safe and proper scientific investigative procedures.
